God’s Missionaries
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1
Missionaries
Cornerstone is blessed with homegrown missionaries who we support as they answer the call to serve Jesus both near and far.
Featured Missionaries: Meet the Kondo Family
Ryan and Betty are full-time missionaries for the Great Commission. They believe the Lord has clearly called the church worldwide to work together to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Their ministry, Ends of the Earth, exists to see this happen.
The Kondo family has been called to Tauranga, New Zealand, to continue their work of discipleship through worship and prayer. Their desire is to see young adults encounter the Lord, be rooted in their identity as children of God and be equipped to live wholehearted for Jesus. Ryan will be serving as lead worship pastor in the Tauranga House of Prayer. He will give leadership to internships, worship school and prayer room staff. Together, Ryan and Betty will be creating a community of worship where people can be trained and discipled.
You can send cards or letters of encouragement to the Kondos at: 66 Chater Ave, Bethlehem, Tauranga, 3110 New Zealand.

Other Missionaries:
We also support five other missionary families who have been called by Jesus to serve in parts of the world where they have to operate cautiously. These people and their locations cannot be disclosed for our missionaries’ safety, but we ask for prayers as these followers of Christ continue to share a message of hope and that the listeners’ hearts may be open to hearing the Gospel. Please also pray for the endurance and unity of the teams they are serving beside.
